Alpha Brut

“ The Alpha label symbolises the ultimate quest for harmony between finesse and depth, for volume enveloped in its outer casing and for shadows and light revealed through shape. The blend is a catalyst for ideas and emotions. It carries within it the essence of feeling. Terroir is a vehicle but not a formula. Its choice and means of expression are an integral part of creating a wine. ”

  • The 2010 Alpha label reveals a satin hue driven by fine, lively bubbles. The Chardonnay reveals itself first through its delicate floral nose of acacia, honeysuckle and poppy entwined with notes of orchard fruits, biscuit and toast. The wine develops lush fruit-driven weight supported by a pomelo nuance. Minerality imparts fullness, elegance and length on the palate. The final saline and chalky sensation fuses with a never-ending finish.
